Reddit is the most authentic place on the internet because people are anonymous. When nobody knows who you are, you tell the truth.

It took us 19 years to go public. We were not in a rush. We were building something that the internet actually needs.

Google now shows Reddit results for every question because Reddit is where humans give honest answers. In the AI era, human-written content is the most valuable content.

Paul Graham rejected our first idea at YC. He told us to build the front page of the internet instead. Best rejection of my life.

We sell data licensing to AI companies because Reddit is the largest archive of human conversation ever created. That data is worth a fortune.

The API pricing controversy was painful. But we cannot let third parties use our data for free while we pay for the servers. That math does not work.
